40 years later

Benvenuti to all our visitors. We have lots of them today and I am not quite sure why. If there is something out there we should be aware of, please do comment.

I thought I would skip forward almost 40 years (it's 1961, though you'd never guess) and show my nonna Luisa with zia Caterina (the matriarch, she is the small lady in black). The other lady is Adele, another widow, who lived there with her three daughters.

I am the curly haired child trying to pull away. The girl in the sowester is my sister, Luisabel, and the boy with the cricket bat my brother, Roderick.
